Wrap up and get out for spring with Janska.
A beautiful Sunday! Janska’s first ambassador, Shelley Zurek, the Chief Blonde, was provided this Janska Gilda Vest in Teal ($119) and the Janska signature LapWrap in Black ($65). She is also wearing: 1st photo: Carissa Rose Shirt dress (), Michael Kors Multi-functional Tote (), Carlos Santa booties from Monroe and Main (similar). 2nd Photo, also wearing: J.Crew Jean shirt (), Daisy Skinny jeans from Sam’s Club, Sam Edelman over the knee boots ().
Mother’s day is almost here!
It seems like whenever Walt and I head home from church, we have a gorgeous sunny day. We often stop by our local nursery, as they have the only plants around that are in bloom. I love going there because it makes me so anxious for spring. I can’t wait to get my Mother’s Day flowers. This Gilda vest looked so pretty with my black dress and kept me warm as I dashed from the car.
As the day warmed up, I continued reading , which delves into a summer in the lives of M.F.K. Fisher, Julia Child, and James Beard. I LOVE JULIA! As I hung out on the back veranda, I wore the Janska LapWrap to give me that little extra warmth. You can see that we have no leaves on our trees yet in Michigan.
The Janksa Gilda vest is such a fun surprising article of clothing. It looks great with a dress (as I wear it above) but also just as marvelous with leggings or jeans as shown on the model above. I am convinced it will be a wardrobe staple as I love the mid thigh length. I can see this being perfect for a spring soccer game, a summer concert, a fall arts and craft fair or a holiday party. Don’t you love pieces that take you through all the seasons?
The LapWrap is the original article of clothing that inspired the entire Janska line. Jan originally designed the wrap to be both a coat and a lap blanket for her dear elderly friend who couldn’t deal anymore with all the buttons and arm holes of a regular jacket. But when Jan took this piece to a tradeshow, boutiques started snapping it up for their clients of all ages.
The LapWrap is not only multi-generational but also unisex. I sure wish I would have had this item earlier…when my mom got sick she had such a tough time getting her arms into her coat. This wrap would have pleased her so much and kept her warm too! I can see myself wearing the LapWrap around the house in place of a sweater or out at night over a sundress or a more formal dress.

I would love The Boulder Coat. Stylish and functional in keeping me warm!
i like the boulder coat. thank you
The hardly jacket is very nice
I have issues with my thyroid and always seem to be cold, even in summer. I’d use the arm warmers and a Joan wrap or Reader’s wrap for lounging on the couch or working on my computer to say warm and comfortable without a bulky blanket.
I’d like the Cascade Vest. I like that burgundy color too. It’s hard to pick, I like so many.
I really like the Vail coat because it’s close to my sense of style.
I like the Roxie Jacket in black with its trench coat style because it looks nice and it is water repellent.
OMG! I LOVE LOVEL OVE the AUDREY coat! I love the length and look of this jacket! Perfect for my dresses!! 🙂 THanks for the chance!
I would like the MocSocks® Booties. My feet are always so cold.
I’d love to win the Madison coat janska.com/madison-coat-1032.html
The Margo Wrap, because it looks like a freaking grown-up Little Red Riding Hood outfit, and if you’re going to wear a dramatic cape, best to go big or go home.
I like the Cascade Vest, because I like the way it flows
I absolutely love the Joan Wrap! Great to throw on in the fall when heading out the door.
I would love to get the Lucy Coat for my mother! She would look great in it!
love the lap wrap -had huge problem with weight gain , turned out to be a thyroid problem that almost killed me ! The lap-wrap is so flexible and I think I would use all the time !
The Janksa Gilda vest in black is my favorite.
Love the Margot wrap! Thanks for the contest!
Joan Wrap looks warm and can just grab it and go.
I love the Madison coat the best and I need a new Jacket so I would love to own that.
I would like the Gilda Vest in jade. I think it is so cute and does not look like anything I have already.
